Frank Lloyd Wright’s Architecture and Japanese Influence:
This 12 page report discusses the similarities between the
architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and the architecture of
Japan. Wright's most essential concepts were of comfort
and livability, open and interesting spaces and plenty of
natural light, as well as a conscious integration of the
natural elements that are elemental to the human organism.
Innovation, incorporation, and “flow” are not just part of
Japanese architecture but of Japan itself. Colors, shapes,
even its pattern of light and darkness reflect an innate
interconnectedness with nature in the designs of Wright as
much as in Japanese design. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
